How to Make the Chile 'Rita

One of the most popular Margaritas at La Posta de Mesilla’s Adobe Cantina y Tequileria has to be the Chile ‘Rita. This delicious take on the traditional Margarita features a wonderful combination of sweet and spicy, due to the use of a particular, locally made, blackberry-habanero syrup.

1 oz Patron Citrónge
